Q & A

I have two colonies that appear to have lost their queens. The first hive has laying workers as the cap brood appears to be drones and the eggs are attached to the side of the cell. There appears to be a single capped queen cell. The second has no eggs or brood to be found and bees are continuously fanning. Both hives are strong with approximately 7 frames or more of bees. I by chance ordered a queen from woodcamp farms that should be in tomorrow along with two packages. Any thoughts. March 21, 2022.
